Now this is a good start to a series. It pulls you in with the nostalgia, but it's quite different from the show (or what I can remember of it from watching it as a kid). Very intrigued by it being set in a post-apocalyptic world, and curious to see how they handle the 2 big problems brought up in this intro. Definitely plan to get more of this!

Ya'll. I've been dying for this book since the preview. It's yet another nostalgic reboot with DEEP themes kind of comic but it's 100% love to me. Smash together Scooby Apocalypse + Tom King's Vision, and you get this. In other words, postmodernized cartoons lol.
I don't think I even liked the Jetsons as a show but I'm familiar enough. I mean, don't ask me if they've "ruined" a character, because it's probably an improvement. I love everything about this and can't wait for the next issue.
Features:
*Jane, being a bad-ass in command
*Rosie/Grandma on being a robot *inhales deeply*
*George being one of the few mechanics. V overworked.
*Elroy exploring earth undersea. Cool Atlantis vibe.
aaaaand Judy... hasn't done anything yet but hey we'll see.
The art is okay - spectacular in backgrounds, but not hitting me with the people. The Jetsons have a really fun setting and I'm interested to see what else they show.
See ya'll for issue #2 be there or be square

A rather disappointing first issue to kick off the series.
When I read this, it didn't take me long to find the dialogue was rather clunky and awkward, not really all that snappy or memorable considering the usually enjoyable work of Jimmy Palmiotti. It just felt like the characters weren't really saying these things, it was all just words without meaning.
I can't honestly make out who these characters really are. I have no sense of who these people are or what they strive for so its hard to know if they're really in character or not. You know what they're doing, but you don't get the sense of immersiveness that should come from knowing why they do these things. Things like the relationships of Judy and Rosie, or George and Rosie, or Elroy and the apparent will they/won't they of his father's boss' daughter are just kinda plopped in without much thought.
I might catch the rest of the series sometime, but this is in no way captivating to me.
